lyrics

When all of my dreams/ are erased and unwritten
forgot and forgiven/ for breathing and living
I will wake and dream a new day

If the first of my ancestor's/ successful inventions
spins out of control/ and beyond intervention
by the whole population/ who's misled intentions
ensnare and encircle/ a house of detention
I will wake and dream a new day

If enduring ideas/ are enshrined in museums
so people believe/ we were once human beings
(and beings can see what we saw as we're seeing)
whether or not/ you believe our perceptions
are perpetually pondered/ preconceived misconceptions
one way, four directions/ four senses, five seasons
one lightens, one darkens/ one's lost, or one reasons
one's heavens, one's hells/one's fortune foretells
a precious collection/ of beautiful bells
that ring in the forest/ as the chorus frogs croon
to the crow colored sky/ tattooed by the moon where
I will wake and dream a new day
